C-mount box-type cameras are in strong demand for day-and-night remote surveillance applications that monitor every corner of a wide area: border protection, water front / coastal safety, forest guard, and safety / protection at critical facilities such as airports and electric power plants.

For those applications, analog / SD cameras equipped with large zoom-ratio zoom lenses are widely deployed as a common industry-standard. Advances in high-resolution surveillance cameras, however, mandate compatible enhancement of resolution in large zoom-ratio zoom lenses.

Addressing the growing market needs, Tamron started selling 1/1.8" 10-360mm F/1.6 motorized high image-quality, large zoom-ratio zoom lenses (Model: M118ZG36X10IRPF / M118ZG36X10IRP) on April 6, 2015. These lenses have gained outstanding market recognition for the superb lens quality to assure improved and effective wide-area surveillance. To address further requests from users and to extend the product portfolio, Tamron now announces the release of a new 1/2" 15-510mm F/3.0 zoom lens (Model: M12ZG34X15IRPF), a telephoto-type lens attuned to surveillance for large-scale infrastructures, critical facilities and other wide-area applications.

Tamron, as an integrated lens manufacturer, aggressively develops distinguished lenses to meet various industry applications and user needs, seeking the highest level of optical performance and utility to deliver the ultimate quality in images.
